Wanda Sykesis addressing whether she’d ever host theAcademy Awardsagain.
Sykes, 58, appeared onLive with Kelly and RyanTuesday, where she told co-hostsKelly RipaandRyan Seacrestthat she’s not interested in hosting the annual awards show in the future.
“Oh, hell no,” Sykes said in response to Seacrest’s question, prompting laughs from the show’s hosts and its audience.
“I shouldn’t say it like that,” Sykes added. “You know what, it was an amazing honor and I think it’s something that you want to do. You do it once… I don’t know if I would want to do it again. It’s a huge job, and it took a lot of people to clean me up.”
On Tuesday, Sykes told Ripa, 51, and 47-year-old Seacrest that she was “shocked” when Smith took the stage and slapped Rock.
“It was just like, what is happening? It was just shock,” Sykes said. “Couldn’t believe it. Shocked. And then it was like… ‘okay, so everybody’s going to just sit here?'”

Sykes has been critical of Smith in the months since the incident. In May, Sykestold an audience in Orlando, Florida, during a comedy tour stop that she is “still traumatized"over the event.
“I can’t talk about it. I get emotional,” Sykes said during the performance.
“I couldn’t believe he was still sitting there, like an assh—,” the star continued, referring to how Smith remained at the ceremony. “Shouldn’t you be sitting there with a lawyer or LAPD, motherf—–?”
Added Sykes: “I hope he gets his s— together. Until then, f— him.”
In April,the Academy banned Smith from attending the Academy Awards for the next 10 years, though Smith isnot barred from being nominated or even winning an Oscarduring that time period.
“But,” added Karger, “I highly doubt he will hear his name called as a nominee in the near future.”
Rock, for his part, has only referenced the incident sparingly since it happened. During a standup set in May at London’s Royal Albert Hall, the comedianbriefly joked about the lasting effects of Smith’s strike.
“I’m okay, if anybody was wondering,” Rock said, according to U.K. outletThe Telegraph. “Got most of my hearing back.”
“Don’t expect me to talk about the bulls—,” he also said,The Telegraphreports. “I’ll talk about it at some point … onNetflix.”
“Your tickets were expensive, but notthatexpensive,” Rock reportedly joked.
Smithresigned from the Academybefore it handed down his 10-year ban. He also publicly apologized to Rock, saying that he “reacted emotionally” because the “joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear.”
Smith also has been working on himself, as asource told PEOPLEin April that he traveled to India for spiritual purposes, to practice yoga and meditation.
